Hey All,
As an Oldie I also remember the sing-along films, cartoons and shorts of the
late 30's and 40's, here in the UK.
We also had Mitch Miller's sing alongs, George's idea about setting a precedent certainly seems valid.
The Fox Agency has been one of the major bullies, pulling lyrics and closing sites for years.
Here in the UK the situation is not better, because we pay through the nose for karaoke discs, a $ becomes a £. (1.80) dearer.
There is, because of this, widespread piracy, whole catalogues are available free and widely exchanged.
Regards from across the pond.
Garry
